evidence of the loving hospitality so spontaneously and generously
extended to her by all the friends in each center she visited, and wishes
me, in particular, to convey to you and to dear Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne his
special thanks for having kindly offered to accompany our precious and
well-beloved sister throughout the last stages of her journey to Melbourne
and Tasmania. May Baha'u'llah richly reward you with His choicest
blessings for all the tender care and affection you lavished upon her all
through her teaching itinerary, and may He sustain, strengthen and guide
you in your endeavours to further enrich and consolidate the notable
teaching results she was able to accomplish in your midst during all these
months.

The Guardian was highly encouraged to hear of the news of the confirmation
of Miss Lamprill's friend, and earnestly hopes and prays that through the
combined, sustained, and loving exertions of these two dear believers the
Cause will gradually make a headway in Hobart, and a group of
well-confirmed souls will soon be established in that center. Kindly
convey to these friends the expression of his warmest good wishes for the
extension and success of their labours in service to our beloved Faith,
and do urge them whole-heartedly, joyously and confidently persevere in
their task of promulgating the message in Hobart.

With regard to Mrs. Routh's request for permission to visit Haifa; much as
the Guardian desires her to undertake such longed for visit to the Holy
Shrines, he feels that owing to the continued disturbances agitating the
Holy Land, and which give no sign of abating, it would be inadvisable for
her to come at such a dangerous time. He hopes some day when the situation
will have returned to normal in Palestine, she will have an opportunity of
undertaking this pilgrimage.

Assuring you, and your newly-elected fellow-members in the N.S.A. of his
continued prayers and best wishes, and with affectionate greetings to all
the friends,

Yours in His Service,
H. Rabbani.

Dear and valued co-workers:

The recent evidences of your marvellous activities in the service of our
beloved Faith have brought infinite joy to my heart. The institutions you
are so devotedly and laboriously erecting, multiplying and perfecting,
notwithstanding your limited numbers, the scarcity of Baha'i teachers and
proper facilities, and despite your limited resources and the varied
obstacles in yo
